WindowsFX Feedback-ish
Wednesday, August 30, 2006 by MindlessPuppet | Discussion: OS Customization
I never really had much interest in WindowFX, until I tried the 3.00. The 'Window Tiles' feature is what I'm really interested in. I tried Microsofts scalable fabric way back when, and I really liked the idea but the program was far too buggy for my liking. So I was really happy when I saw that Stardock took up a similiar idea (and it works a ton better!). I do have a few suggestions for it, that I think would be great additions.
I see that it scales from the top-left corner, I'd like to see an option to have 'minimized' windows' tile go to the sides of the desktop (based on what side it's closer to).
Also, it'd be nice if it saved the tile sizes for processes.
And lastly, and I'm not sure how feesible this is, if there were a hotkey to raise all the tiles to top. Not so much as a hotkey toggle for the always on top option, but a keystroke that puts it on top for as long as it's being held, a la alt+tab.
